    Question/Idea

    How difficult would it be to have a map that had NO anti-tank mines? I'm all for giving the AT kit the 2-stage/heavier RPG, but no mines. It would be very interesting.

    I thought of this as at least one map has claymores taken away from the snipers.

    Just a thought.

    Re: Question/Idea

    Is it a server-side setting, or is it strictly up to the mapper?

    I'd love to play just one map with armor and no AT.

    Or even better, no AT and no C4.....make the guys have to earn anti-tank kills.

    You want a map where it is just tank on tank action? My gosh I have something similar in the works but I must admit there will be AT kits, mines, C4, Heavy AT, and static AT... but with 20 pieces of armor PER SIDE... I think it is needed.

    Ok....here's another question...sorry if I'm bothering you.....

    In vanilla BF2, you can clear mines with explosives. Can the AT mines be tweaked to be able to be cleared as well?

    Ya not bothering me at all man. I am sure it could be coded that way but that would defeat the choke point purpose of them if tanks could simply blast them out of the way dont you think?

    The mine factor really will be interesting on this map and if it becomes a problem then I can scale it back where needed.

    No air at all. The only air you will see will be in the form of static wrecks! A little info on it for those interested. The map features a day 2 environment where Ukraine and Germany have been fighting and left many wrecks and craters all over the place. US reinforcements arive to help Germany take on the Ukraines. Abrams & Leo vs T84 & T55. The terrain has sporatic trees as well as rolling plains with rocks scattered about. The flag points are all dug in with hull down positions for your tanks as well as an environment that AT squads can be a threat.

    Thats about all I am gonna say until I get the map prettied up and ready for news but I hope that gives you guys a general idea of one of the maps I am working on for this next release.

    What was that map in BF1942 that was opened up and was UK & Germany, desert setting with a town in the middle? That map was a good armor map, except for people laying mines in the garage where you healed your tank. I love open armor maps. I am looking forward to seeing it.

    I believe it was Tobruk but the town was at the back end. The other Desert maps were Battleaxe (Trench type map), Gazala (Canyons), El Al (Open Desert with mountain in middle), and Aberdeen (Rolling Sand Dunes in a bowl that did have a small village in the middle).

    Either it has been a long time since you played Vanilla or I missed this one? I don't think you can clear mines with anything but a wrench (or a vehicle )

    I thought you could clear them with tank rounds, or with C4 charges. Maybe I'm thinking of BFV/POE1, or maybe it's been a long time since I played vanilla and it changed.

    This was the case about 3 (maybe 2) patches ago, and was promptly changed in the next patch.
